18th Street Arts Center COVID-19 Response
As we continue to adapt to these challenging times, 18SAC remains dedicated to ensuring a safe environment for our community and beyond. Partnering with the city of Santa Monica, 18th Street has become a Shines COVID-19 Assurance organization. The Santa Monica Assurance Program was created to help organizations and businesses in Santa Monica reaffirm our commitment to safety and cleanliness. Following the guidance of this program and LA County Department of Health, our galleries are closed to walk-in visitors and are available by appointment only on a limited basis. All visitors are required to wear masks. Please do not plan your visit if you are currently experiencing symptoms of Covid-19, or are under quarantine orders.  Our Spring exhibitions including Recovery Justice: Being Well, and Year of Wonders, redux,  will be open to appointments only from March 29 – July 2. Appointments are available Monday – Friday at 10am, 1pm, 2pm, and 3pm. Please visit https://yearofwondersredux.eventbrite.com to sign up for an appointment.

Each time slot can accommodate groups of up to six individuals. All visitors are expected to check in at the front door, wear masks, and maintain a distance of 6 feet at all times from others who are not part of the same family group. Please do not come if you have any symptoms of illness.
